| Blackmagic Design Wins Eight Awards at NAB 2007 Blackmagic Design has announced that it is the proud recipient of eight awards at the recent National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) 2007 electronic media show. Rarely has a company been recognized by post-production and broadcast users and media for such significant innovation and impact on their industries. Multibridge Eclipse received four awards: a Pick Hit Award from Broadcast Engineering, a Vidy Award from Videography, a Top Innovation Award from Television Broadcast and a Pick Hit Award from Millimeter. Intensity Pro received three awards: a STAR Award (Superior Technology Award Recipient) from Television Technology, a Pick Hit Award from Digital Content Producer, and a Black Diamond Award from DV. Intensity received an Innovation Award from the 4EVER Group. Multibridge Eclipse is the world's first editing solution available with the new 3 Gb/s SDI standard connections. 3Gb/s allows twice the SDI data rate than normal HD-SDI, while retaining compatibility with normal HD-SDI and standard definition SDI equipment. 3 Gb/s SDI allows 4:4:4 video using a single BNC type connection, or Blackmagic Design's new 2k via SDI allows high resolution real time 2048 x 1556 feature film editing. Multibridge Eclipse includes color management via built in 3D lookup tables that allow the accurate matching of film stock so editors can see the correct color of the final film output when editing. Intensity Pro is the first card to combine the high quality of HDMI capture and playback with the wide compatibility of analog component, NTSC, PAL and S-Video and analog audio capture and playback. It enables users to capture directly from the HD camera's image sensor, bypassing the video compression chip for true uncompressed video quality. Now users can go beyond the quality limits of HDV for editing, design and authoring with Intensity Pro. Intensity is the first incredibly small HDMI capture and playback card that instantly switches between 1080HD, 720HD, NTSC and PAL video standards. Once Intensity is plugged into compatible PCI Express Windows or Mac OS X computers, users get the amazing quality of uncompressed video via HDMI from cameras, decks and set top boxes, enabling them to playback to any HDMI big screen television or video projector for video editing, in SD or HD, and with real time effects. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
